It's Happened....I Put Thread....

............into a needle and stitched something........

Many people mark the days passing in many forms. I read blogs of others who do this in stitch. I decided to try this too...not to mark the passage of time, but to kick start my enjoyment of sewing from the rut it was in.

I started with this. Organic shapes {to use a new term; for something natural; I suppose is how I would have called it before} These shapes are actually fur. From the one Abby dog, mostly. When she is shaggy, her fur mats. I have saved them in the last year. So now they are stitched down. I can't tell you how many endorphin this one small piece released. It still is. Releasing them.

Not very big.

But not really surprising to find I do this. I pulled this out of the ottoman.

I am not sure how old it is but I know I had it with me when Granddaughter #3 was aborning herself in July 2009. I sandwiched everything back then, like a quilt.

Soda bottle lids. ↓

Cutout from a soda can. ↓

↓Printed ribbons off fabric bundles. If the company is going to print it, I am going to save it.

These will be used elsewhere....someday.

This fish was a novelty fabric, in parts. So I connected the parts with a ruff.↓

I started in with the fur bits after getting a card and 2 books as gifts from my brother. He has not wished to converse with me for many years, until now. I am very happy he did!
